He’s gone.
Kart hauled her up.
Kenna felt something inside her crack. She screamed and thrashed, saying words but not understanding what even came out of her mouth.
Her awareness blurred.
Pain sparked in her side. Then in her head. Someone restrained her. She fought with every ounce of strength she had, practically feral. Nearly zero control over herself, and what little she did have she gave up to instinct.
The world spun around her, and she hit the ground.
The floor.
Inside.
Everything went black. Kenna blinked and rolled over. Just a dark room with no windows and no door. She lay on her back, staring at the ceiling, each breath coming fast. Adrenaline raced through her as her chest rose and fell in rapid succession.
Help.
Jax was gone. They’d come in and rescued him while she wasn’t here. It had to have been the FBI. Who else would just leave her here?
Hot tears gathered in her eyes, sliding back to her hair. She didn’t bother holding back but cried out every ounce of fear. Pain. Abandonment.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this.
She shouldn’t need anyone, but she’d let them in. Stairns. Maizie.
Jax.
Now she knew she hadn’t seen Stairns in town. It was all just wishful thinking—like the idea of anyone coming to rescue her. Maybe they didn’t care at all. Or they figured she could get herself out of anything.
But she couldn’t.
Kenna rolled over to her side and curled up, tucking her knees to her chest. She couldn’t even wrap her arms around herself. She wasn’t strong enough to do that. Her arms were useless. Her legs felt like noodles. Every part of her thrummed with pain.
She wanted to throw up, but there was nothing in her stomach.
Jax was gone.
He was free, and she never would be. With no strength to fight what was coming she couldn’t save her own life. She hadn’t saved his. This was it.
The end.
Kenna closed her eyes.
I guess You aren’t going to do anything.
God might’ve saved Jax—probably because he was a good guy—but she was still here. After years saving the lost and forgotten…it was her now.
Lost.
Forgotten.
The door cracked open, and light spilled on the backs of her closed eyelids. Her actions had brought her here, and there was nothing she could do about it.
“Are you done?”
She rolled onto her back and said nothing. Kenna took a long breath and held it. He could drag her around, do whatever he wanted, and then kill her when he was finished—or leave her so his cousin could do the same.
